With a car trailer, you have to have the wheels dished in. As to axles you need at least one size up from the common 3500 lb axles, I believe that is 5000 lbs each. A deck over trailer would be better, but with the car trailer, loading is easier. A properly placed load on a bumper pull trailer will NOT sway -- I have done it many times. They are also lighter than a gooseneck, but do have weight limitations as to load. Get a load equalizing hitch, which will distribute the load between truck and trailer and prevent your truck from squatting. With a 10000 lb GVW trailer and a 5500-6000 lb 400, you need a truck capable of SAFELY pulling 10000 lbs, meaning at least a 3/4 ton.
